Hello! I have a problem with my computer after I have installed demanded codec for Windows media Player. Namely, I wanted to play some video which I have downloaded from the internet. But, when I tried to play it I got message that I need codec and link for that codec. I have downloaded and installed it and after that I am facing problem with restarting my machine. What to do?

Hello! You have downloaded some malicious software. I assume that we are talking about some Trojan horse. I suggest you to scan your computer in safe mode and try to get rid of that nasty. Nowadays lot of people face problem with fake codecs. That is not actually codecs, but malicious software. Be aware in the future.
